Your WordPress site has been compromised by hackers. This could mean malware injection, spam content, redirects to malicious sites, or complete site defacement.

Discovering your site has been hacked is stressful. Hackers may show spam, redirect visitors to malware, or deface your pages. Act quickly to minimize damage and recover your site.
Take a breath. Most hacks are recoverable. But act quickly because Google may blacklist your site, and visitors may get malware warnings. Document what you see before making changes.
Put up a maintenance page or take the site completely offline. This protects visitors from malware and stops the hack from spreading. Better to be down temporarily than spread malware.
Change: WordPress admin password, hosting/cPanel password, FTP passwords, database password, and email passwords. Use strong unique passwords. Enable 2FA where possible.
Use Sucuri SiteCheck (free online scan), Wordfence (WordPress plugin), or your host's malware scanner. This identifies infected files. Note all flagged files.
Hackers often create hidden admin accounts. In WordPress, go to Users and look for accounts you do not recognize. Delete any suspicious users immediately.
The safest fix is restoring from a backup taken before the hack. Check that the backup is clean (scan it). If no clean backup exists, manual cleaning is required.
Update WordPress core, all plugins, all themes. Outdated software is the #1 way sites get hacked. Delete unused plugins and themes entirely.
If Google shows a malware warning, go to Google Search Console > Security Issues. Fix the issues, then request a review. Google will recheck and remove the warning.
